It was four years ago today (November 30) that Yeovil Town recorded one of the greatest victories in their history.

In their one and only year to date in the Sky Bet Championship, the Glovers beat playoff-chasing Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road to give their survival hopes a significant boost.

Yeovil were eventually relegated at the end of that 2013-14 season after a plucky fight in the second tier of English football, but it was highlights like this win over the Hornets that made it a campaign to remember for Glovers fans.

What happened?

Bottom of the table going into the match, then manager Gary Johnson and his side would have been boosted by the fact that despite their position of tenth, their hosts had lost their last three games in front of their home fans.

They had also completed a triple loan signing on the eve of the game in a bid to revive their own fortunes, with John Lundstram, Adam Morgan and Ishmael Miller all arriving two days prior.

Watford - then managed by Gianfranco Zola - enjoyed the majority of the possession throughout the 90 minutes - 65 per cent, in fact - but it was the Glovers who took their chances and they went 1-0 up in injury-time of the first half when centre-back Byron Webster headed in a Liam Davis corner.

After 53 minutes an incisive break forward from Joe Edwards led to a cross being nodded in by debutant Miller and Edwards sealed all three points in emphatic fashion as he turned in a shot in the third minute of injury-time.

The home team did have their own chances, but were left frustrated when first Davis blocked a Marco Cassetti strike and then the impressive Edwards was on hand to get in the way of a Diego Fabbrini effort.

The teams

Most of the Hornets starting XI is unrecognisable from those that are currently at the Hertfordshire club, minus influential captain and striker Troy Deeney.

However, there is a notable inclusion at right-back, with Hector Bellerin - who has gone on to be a key player for Arsenal and a Spain international - on-loan from the Emirates Stadium at the time.

Meanwhile, not one of the Yeovil players who featured that day is still at Huish Park, with the last surviving member of the squad, Kevin Dawson, who came off the bench in the 88th minute, leaving for Cheltenham last summer.

What happened next?

Johnson described the result as a "massive win", but as previously mentioned Yeovil would go on to suffer relegation that term - finishing bottom with 37 points. That started a downward spiral for the club, which saw them relegated again 12 months later, although not before Johnson was sacked in February 2015.

His successor, Paul Sturrock, lasted just 30 games before he too was dismissed with the club bottom of League Two, but they survived a third relegation in as many years after Darren Way took charge and they are currently 18th in the fourth tier of English football having spent the last two years trying to preserve their EFL status.

For Watford, things went a lot better - but not after they suffered a little bit of adversity of their own. Less than three weeks after that defeat to the Glovers, Zola resigned as head coach and Giuseppe Sannino guided them to 13th that season.

Sannino was replaced by Oscar Garcia in the summer of 2014, but stepped down after four matches due to health problems. Billy McKinlay was then appointed, but was in charge for just two games before Slavisa Jokanovic took over.

Jokanovic took the club to the Premier League in 2014-15 as they finished second behind AFC Bournemouth, but after failing to agree a new deal he was then replaced by Quique Sanchez Flores for Watford's return to the top flight.

Despite guiding the Hornets to 13th and an FA Cup semi-final in 2015-16, Flores also left after just a year in charge and was replaced by Walter Mazzarri, who was sacked at the end of last season after only just keeping them up in 17th place.

Mazzarri was replaced by highly rated Portuguese manager Marco Silva, who has made a bright start to his Hornets reign, guiding the club to eighth in the top flight after 14 matches.
